Gotta pick one, not for honeymoon, just for my next trip! Thanks, great job done!
must make a choice between maldives and bora bora. These two are my no.1 destinations!
How do I get a visa to go to China?
you don’t need any visa to Australia or Thailand. Just pack and go.
So many choices, I would choose Bahamas and Australia. The photos are incredible and a vacation there will be romantic with a girl and fun with family and friends.
I was swoon and starstruck with these amazing honeymooners romantic destination. I’m so excited to acquire a ticket for my summer escaped.
OMG how to choose, they are all so beautiful. I got married last year and which I would have found this site before my honey moon. I think I will be booking a trip to bora bora for our anniversary tho, I am completely taken by it, I can hardly wait to show my husband the pics I know he will be equally excited about it.
These are really fantastic secenes taken from the beaches. These serene scenaries makes me fascinated. I wish to visit these places with my loveling.
I would definitely like go to Crete, Greece! Its just look so awesome!!
Some day I’m gonna go there…!!!
Wow! I will definitely bookmarked this article. The pictures that the writer provided are really beautiful and picturesque. I hope I can visit at least one of this place.
They are lovely
All the places mentioned are … what to say no word! beautiful! awesome!.
I mostly liked the Maldives and wish to go there!
What a marvellous sceerery is this. The richness of the nature that enchants man. Really so wonderful.One can get relaxed and enjoy the bliss of the horizon, the sea and the geenery. Its really a wonderful gift of the Almighty
Though I am already married, these beaches are to die for!! I want to try out all of them!
On a serious note, I think we can only go for the Asian beaches as this will not require any visas for us.
Nice post by the way!
It is so true that the beach can always bring so much fun and wonders to anyone. The sound of the waves, the view, and most of all, the opportunity that it gives for one to get in touch with nature. The experience it can bring can make such a beautiful memory. This is why lovers and couples, specially those who are enjoying their honeymoon, can make their relationship so much stronger when they step into the beach, spending the time together.
really wonderful article, i will certainly follow your advice for my next trip to China for my honey moon.
The beaches look lovely! One day Il win the lottery and be able to visit all those beautiful places.
These beaches look like they are pure heaven on earth! I have been searching for a great honeymoon spot for a while now and I am 100% my fiance would love this!
I actually took a similar picture of Crete last time I went there. Um, interesting, whenever you go there, it’s always so beautiful.
How can you not mention Green Sand Beach?! Now that you have seen enough white sand, and plan to Pink Beach in Bahamas, you have no reason to miss Hawaii’s Green Sand Beach!!
Just experienced a “spiritual awakening” at Green Sand. Also recommend Phang Nga Bay in Thailand for the breathtaking scenery with limestone island rock formations.
It’s really a pity that Maldives beaches are going through serious erosion. Wonder how long they can stand above the sea.
Hum, bikini party is my thing.
Gonna save every dime from now on for the trip to Crete.
I have never heard of the Seychelles until I read a travel blog about it. It’s isolating but gorgeous. I’m not sure whether it’s a great option for honeymoon. But it’s definitely a place to relax your body and rest your mind.
I LOVE THESE PICTURES! I ALWAYS LOVE BEACHES!
South beach is too packed to have a moment of privacy or peace, not to mention romance. We’ve been there. And we regret it as hell.
Whitehaven Beach, Australia and Champagne Beach, Vanuatu should be counted in. They’re heaven-like beaches!
I will always love the Flamenco Beach for it was the spot my honeymoon was at. White sand, crystal clear blue water and calm sea, that’s so utterly beautiful. There’s no way to describe it! Just come and feel it by yourself.
The clock is ticking. My days are numbered. Hopefully I could die gracefully on these beaches, any one of them.
